A Season of Change<br />

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK, FEBRUARY 1– 8, <strong>2008</strong><br />

Best described as a season of change, fall ’08 is defined by<br />

rich, elegant hues that offer a vibrant selection. New York’s<br />

fashion designers emphasize cooler blues, greens and purples<br />

in the top five tones used in their collections, followed by<br />

variations of warm red, orange and yellow.<br />

“<strong>Fall</strong> is traditionally a time for subdued, quiet colors, but this<br />

season we are seeing a shift toward cool hues with bright,<br />

exciting undertones,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director<br />

of the <strong>Pantone</strong> Color Institute ® . “Conventional tones such as<br />

warm autumn hues, chocolate browns and steel grays are<br />

also among the fall color choices. Blue and purple tones have<br />

become staples, as illustrated by Blue Iris, one of the top 10<br />

colors chosen by designers this season, and <strong>Pantone</strong>’s Color<br />

of the Year for <strong>2008</strong>.”<br />

Blue Iris, a beautifully balanced blue with an undertone of<br />

purple, is a favorite among designers, as it combines the calming<br />

aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple.<br />

Dramatic Royal Lilac brings purple to the forefront of fashion,<br />

and generates a bit of heat with its exciting red undertones.<br />

Serene, sophisticated Caribbean Blue is another popular<br />

hue this fall, especially in jewelry and accessories. But it can<br />

add a colorful intensity wherever it is used in the wardrobe.<br />

Twilight Blue, a twist on a classic navy, shows the<br />

transitional aspect of spring segueing into fall. Serving as<br />

a wonderful base color, Shady Glade delivers a natural<br />

elegance to the fall palette. Taking green in an interesting<br />

direction with its true green characteristics, this hue is<br />

a departure from greens of seasons past, which have had<br />

distinctively yellow undertones.<br />

Reds are a steadfast favorite for fall and Aurora Red is<br />

no exception. Versatile and universally appealing, this true<br />

red adds a splash of energy to the palette. Soft, dusky<br />

Withered Rose, with its pinkish qualities and brown<br />

undertones, is a versatile hue that blends with every shade.<br />

Ochre, a beautifully mellow yellow with a hint of mustard,<br />

adds a touch of lightness and spice. Orange has had a long<br />

run, and now, more than ever, consumers are gravitating<br />

toward intense shades like Burnt Orange, bringing this once<br />

steady background color to the foreground. The complex yet<br />

modest Shitake is an intriguingly understated shade,<br />

especially when teamed with the robust colors of fall ‘08.<br />

and Cool Porcelain<br />

INSPIRATION<br />

The idea of “strange beauty” —<br />

something that is freakishly odd, but at<br />

the same time elegantly beautiful. This<br />

oxymoron, specifically created for this<br />

season, gave us more freedom<br />

and achieves an avant-garde take on<br />

traditional fashion. We are also constantly<br />

inspired by our home country of Korea,<br />

as well as European and American<br />

cultures — the resulting designs are a<br />

unique combination of melded ideas.<br />

SIGNATURE COLOR<br />

Mineral Red, Rusty Orange and Yellow<br />

Ochre juxtaposed with Porcelain, Black,<br />

add a graphic, rock ‘n’ roll element that<br />

reference the 1960s and 1970s.<br />

INSPIRATION<br />

The haute hippie, bohemian style of<br />

Woodstock icon Janis Joplin combined<br />

with the gritty glamour of rock ‘n’ roll as<br />

depicted in Performance, the 1968 cult<br />

film starring Mick Jagger — the vibrant<br />

patchwork of colors and textures that<br />

defines Joplin’s look is re-imagined<br />

to create a collection that is both<br />

vintage and modern, all with a<br />

cool, psychedelic attitude<br />

The rich, opulent jewel tones in<br />

Asia — I studied fine art in Tokyo<br />

under Japan’s leading contemporary<br />

artist, Jiro Takamatsu, who is credited<br />

for paving the way for the modern<br />

art movement in Japan during the<br />

1960s. During that time, I was<br />

immersed in rich jewel tones and<br />

saw how these regal colors could<br />

be incorporated in design.<br />

SIGNATURE COLOR<br />

Asian-inspired Red — it is rich and<br />

warm with a nod to the season and<br />

its colorful foliage<br />

COLOR PHILOSOPHY<br />

The colors are derived from an<br />

opulent perspective. They’re colors<br />

that I use in my own home to<br />

decorate a room. These jewel tones<br />

do not overwhelm my designs<br />

and the garment is the star.<br />

designers choose paint for home<br />

Rug because it goes well with Benge furniture. — Akiko Ogawa<br />

Atmosphere — it’s clean, crisp and modern. Use it anywhere requiring tranquility. — Alvin Valley<br />

Rich Salmon for modern contemporary or antiques — it will work in any room. — Betsey Johnson<br />

Rust — it stimulates energy, generates enthusiasm, feels comforting and strong, and has a warm simplicity with its tone.<br />

This color would be ideal in any home office or workspace. — Brian Reyes<br />

A rich hue of Gray would be beautiful and very masculine, particularly with a crisply painted Cream molding. Van Gogh allegedly<br />

painted the walls of his studio Gray — the richness of the dark hue was serene. — Carlos Campos<br />

I always like the way a room looks when the walls are one color and all the framing is a contrast stark White. I love everything<br />

White with touches of color elsewhere so I would start slowly painting my bathroom Seafoam and my kitchen walls a<br />

bright Lemon. — Charlotte Ronson<br />

A faded Gray Lilac — ideal for spaces that are serene and relaxing, such as a bathroom or lounge. It adds a touch of organic<br />

futurism that is both neutral and modern. — Christian Cota<br />

Emperor Red! Anywhere… If it was good enough for Diana Vreeland, then it’s good enough for me. — David Rodriguez<br />

Subtle Beige with traces of Peach — this works as a great background for staging furniture and is extremely flattering to<br />

one’s skin tone. — Dennis Basso<br />

Having been inspired by looking at wall coverings from Wook Kim, I am compelled by the idea of Black interiors.<br />

A Black bathroom could be very dramatic and beautiful. — Doori Chung for Doo.ri<br />

Imperial Purple — it would work well with a Black and White photography collection. — Douglas Hannant<br />

Metallic shades — Silvers, Golds, Bronzes and pearlized colors. — Erin Fetherston<br />

Antique Loden in a study, home office or library — books pictures and objects look best against a dark<br />

dramatic setting. — James Coviello<br />

Black Lacquer in a library or a cozy den — it provides an air of glamour to a casual room. — Jenni Kayne<br />

Apple Green — it can brighten up any room yet still be very sophisticated. — Kimora Lee Simmons for Baby Phat<br />

Peacock Tail for a library, inspired by Whistler’s Peacock room. — Laura Poretzky for Abaeté<br />

Shades of Green in all interior spaces due to the awareness of the environment. — Luca Luca<br />

Champagne Pink for the bedroom. — Nanette Lepore<br />

Lemon Ice in pretty much any room, especially the kitchen, because it reminds me of the lemon trees<br />

in southern Italy. — Nicole Romano<br />

Paprika and other spice tones — it gives any space a sexy, exotic edge, especially in an accent wall. — Pamella Roland<br />

Pale, pale Blue Gray — chic, elegant and relaxing. This paint color would be best in a bedroom because<br />

it is very soothing. — Peter Som<br />

I always like a hint of Warm Red on at least one wall. — Reem Acra<br />

Dark Chocolate for doors, frames and skirting boards combined with Light Gray walls. — Staerk<br />

A rich velvety Red in a cozy space like a TV room, home office or library. — Tadashi Shoji<br />

Slate Gray — it allows you to have a neutral palette that is different than the usual Off-White/White option and allows<br />

you to transform your space by changing a few accent pieces with different pops of color. I just recently painted my showroom<br />

Gray and I find it so helpful when constantly changing seasons and inspirations. — Tia Cibani for Ports 1961<br />

Glossy Black with White trim will make a room with low ceilings cozy and inviting. — Tracy Reese<br />

Mare Lavender — a feminine and versatile color which gives modern interiors a softer touch. — Wenlan Chia for Twinkle by Wenlan<br />

Classic White because it allows art and furnishings to pop. — Wichy Hassan for Miss Sixty<br />

PANTONE 164-2-2 C — we love this color because of its texture and depth. It is a dignified and graceful hue that can<br />

be used in any room, stirring various emotions. — Y&Kei<br />

Navy — it’s regal and romantic, a great color for a dining room to entertain guests. — Zac Posen<br />
